Final Comprehensive Conservation Plan - U.S. Fish and Wildlife ...

Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge
Comprehensive Conservation Plan
wildlife and habitat. The conservation targets are species, species groups, or communities that the
Refuge will actively manage to conserve and restore over the life of the CCP. Potential management
actions will be evaluated on their effectiveness in achieving Refuge goals and objectives for the
conservation targets. Additionally, management of these species and habitats will also benefit and
support many other native species that are present on the Refuge. Negative features of the landscape,
such as invasive plants, may demand a large part of the Refuge management effort, but are not
designated as conservation targets. Through the consideration of the BIDEH, the Refuge will provide
for or maintain all appropriate native habitats and species. These species and habitats can be found in
Appendix F.
